Another matter I wanted to comment on that I always see a few posts about and that is the shield generator “back door”. People seem to think it a literal back door directly into the generator complex where I always saw it as the obviously (to me) implied secret rear entrance / exit that connects to the main generator complex via somewhat of a lengthy corridor / tunnel. When you see the entrance from outside you can’t see the generator itself so therefore I am already imagining that it is some distance away from the entrance itself. Furthermore once inside where they place the explosives you get to see and glimpse some of the actual generator structure which looks like it stretches away for quite some distance and you get the feeling of quite a large structure which doesn’t feel like it could coexist directly inside the entrance when seen from outside.

So due to this I don’t see any of the issues people raise about it such as why didn’t Han get incinerated - because by the time it blows, he’s run all the way back trough the tunnel and outside. You see part of the explosion still exit the tunnel but it’s more of a distant fire flash finding its way out through a distant exit while the shield generator is then shown to completely go up in a massive fireball which if Han and Co had been right beside it, would have been killed for sure so therefore logic and what I’d already subconsciously imagined earlier on as to the entrance location to the generator itself places them at a much farther and safer distance from the main generator.
